In the spirit of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, the original Pickle Family Circus, Circus Amok, and other daring efforts to bring free, fantastical performance directly to the people, in their neighborhoods, we invite you to come along.

As the doldrums peak, we don sequins and rhinestones, pull out the Groucho Marx glasses, call up the 7’ tall Blue Bunny and get to work. Circus Bella is a way to see our dream in 3-dimensions. We know there’s a reason and a need and there aren’t enough opportunities out there, much less here in our own town. We must share. People need reasons to congregate to stimulate their senses, feel their personal physicality, experience community and check their own values. Here is our way to mend the world, to make something daring, beautiful, and enthralling….to offer a thrill and instill joy.

2010! We are returning with our series of FREE public performances in various venues throughout Oakland, San Francisco, and beyond. We know we cannot do this without wide spread community support. Haven’t you always wanted to join the circus? Now is your chance! Be a proud part of this project by participating in any of a number of ways.
